For several years A trend towards life on the road and constant travel emerged which became more and more pronounced over the years. Especially after the pandemic, many people called for a life with more connection to nature, the discovery of new landscapes and the end of traditional structures.
This is how several projects emerged associated with “life on the road”, A trend that also boosted the production of mobile homes, their sales and various related businesses.
The stories of those who adopt this lifestyle multiply and are complemented by the landscapes of the Argentine Republic. as diverse as they find admiration even when compared to international stages. From Iguazú Falls to Perito Moreno Glacier, The map travels through Patagonia with its lakes and mountains and the north of the country with its colorful hills, Andean culture and historic cities, inviting you to explore, discover and stay a little longer in each destination.
Pay attention to this stream, The Argentine Automobile Club (ACA) announced that it will develop the formation of tourist tours specifically for motorhome users. With suggestions that cover all your needs: from supply and rest areas to service and recreation areas, strengthening the support network for an ever-expanding way of traveling.
In other words, The ACA began collaborating with other leaders in RV rental and construction to offer this benefit to its members interested in this lifestyle.
“With the RV racers, they We are about to start. Members can rent one from ACA and complete the North Corridor. for example and visit points of the club, stations with electricity, water, parking and other things,” commented César Carman, president of the club.
The Paradores would thus meet a long-standing demand from the travel industry: the lack of infrastructure and overnight accommodation for this type of vehicle. Although no dates have been set by the club for the full implementation of these routes, Carman placed particular emphasis on this initiative as one of the aspects of the transformation of the ACA that has been carried out.
Another aspect that has grown significantly this year and also contributes to the promotion of this culture is The evolution of motorhomes towards configurations that are increasingly suitable for off-road use.
A group of entrepreneurs The third generation of the family business Ripoll Motorhomes worked for five years to develop a project that would combine the comfort of a motorhome with the capabilities of an off-road vehicle. “Although we have progressed step by step, there have never been any setbacks: we have always moved forward,” he commented THE NATION Lucas Ripoll, director and initiator of the initiative.
This is how “Optimus 4×4” was created, presented a few weeks ago. This is a comprehensive transformation of a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter that features increased ground clearance, dual suspension, all-wheel drive and a reduction gear. And all this without neglecting the interior, which maintains the typical equipment of a luxury motorhome: table, convertible seats, kitchen and other amenities.
The development of the project required the involvement of an interdisciplinary team including specialists from Formula 1, including in the aviation and mechanical engineering industries.
For his part, Nicolás Ripoll, deputy director of the company, highlighted an important aspect: “It is a product designed with 100% Argentine engineering. This makes us independent of international fluctuations and import restrictions.”
“This project is also ideal for industries such as mining, because it has a different configuration inside that allows it to carry between 15 and 19 passengers, quadrupling the transport capacity and drastically reducing logistics costs,” explains Lucas Ripoll.
This project also had its place Expo Rodantear 2025a trade fair that made it clear that the rolling community in Argentina is not only growing, but also at an ever-increasing pace. For four days it gathered thousands of visitors from different provinces and neighboring countries. With an exhibition area of 11,600 m², twice as much as last year, the trade fair is establishing itself as the largest and most representative travel tourism event in the country.
“Hiking tourism is booming in our country and is a trend in the world“said Marcelo Pistorio, general director of Expo Rodantear and founder of AutocampingTV, who highlighted the meeting’s role as a point of development, identity and community for the industry.
